Selena married into the Chen family expecting a life, and got a slow death instead. Her husband carried on with his widowed sister-in-law under the same roof, and when Selena's grief and illness finally finished her, no one in that house bothered to pretend they'd miss her. She dies knowing exactly who signed off on every dose of the poison.
She wakes up years earlier, in a body still healthy and a marriage still unbroken. This time she picks her own weapon: a quiet monk with a reputation for healing, whom she seduces into giving her a child. Her plan is cold and specific, a pregnancy that ends her husband's line and a poison that ends him. What she never accounted for is what the monk actually is, or what he wants from her.
